    Merged with the already running DSi thread.

    There are online DSi games are already out in Japan. I've seen one that uses the pictures taken by the camera and lets you mess with them.

    I'll get one at launch, but then again I'm a DS whore.
    Because it makes no attempt to be great, it is therefore extremely great.

    As far as I know, only the downloadable WiiWare stuff will be DSi specific, so that's why we're not seeing any region locked retail games so far.

    The DS's GBA compatibility sucks. Poor button layout that can't be customized to make things like the Mario Advance titles playable, and games that stick halfway out on the DS lite. Good riddance I say, the SP2 is the way to go for GBA titles, its still the best handheld I've ever used to this day.

    3mp camera is around 2048x1536, good enough for an 8x10 print. Most cellphones are lucky to do 640x480...

    Yeah, 3 megapixels is very good. All of the pictures in my photobucket were taken with a 3.2 MP camera.
